Early Childhood Education

As a dad to two young kids and an educator himself, Jake understands the full impacts of the early childhood education crisis our community is facing. This isn’t just a financial issue; it’s an economic and moral crisis. Access to affordable and quality early childhood education is fundamental to the success of our children and the well-being of our families. Jake believes it’s time for our community to take action, ensuring that every child has access to quality education, no matter their family’s income. 

Jake will push creative solutions, such as the establishment of an early childhood education special district, which could raise the necessary revenue to address the over $60 million shortfall our community faces between what our kids need and what’s currently available. Supported by leaders in both the St. Vrain and Boulder Valley School Districts, this district would create a dedicated body responsible for raising and distributing funds to meet this critical challenge.

Additionally, Jake supports establishing incentives for developers who build on site childcare and early childhood education centers in their developments to address the lack of spots available for families.

On council, Jake Marsing will make sure that no family is left behind due to the high costs of childcare or limited access to quality early education. By advocating for creative, community-driven solutions and securing the necessary funding, Jake will help build a future where every child in Longmont has the opportunity to succeed from day one.
